🇻🇪Venezuelans march against US seizure of oil tanker
The people of Venezuela took to the streets to protest against what they term "piracy" committed by the United States government when it seized a Venezuelan oil tanker and, with it, millions of dollars in oil. They also criticized the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to María Corina Machado, a right-wing opposition leader who has called for a US military invasion of Venezuela.

As the ideological appeal of US-led globalization fades and economic leverage weakens, the imperial center increasingly resorts to naked force and threats.
The year 2025 witnessed escalated threats from the United States on the Global South. In the span of months, Washington declared Venezuelan airspace “closed in its entirety”, threatened to invade Nigeria “guns-a-blazing” to protect Christians from an alleged genocide, and demanded that the Taliban return Bagram airbase with warnings of unspecified consequences. These are not isolated episodes of Trumpian bluster. They are symptoms of a deeper structural crisis in the way US power manages its relationship with the rest of the world.

Berri described Barrack’s remarks as “a grave mistake and completely unacceptable”, warning foreign diplomats “not to threaten the Lebanese people”.
“It is utterly unacceptable to address the Lebanese people in this manner, especially by diplomats, and particularly by someone like Ambassador Tom Barrack,” the Lebanese politician said.

Many believe that the US military deployment in the Caribbean could be seeking even more than what many believe to be its primary agenda of pressuring the Venezuelan government to resign and thus reposition itself as the main beneficiary of the South American country’s oil.
The US president stated that if the situation does not change, “Petro is next”. He also threatened to invade Mexico and impose special tariffs on Mexican products if Mexico did not provide more water.

🇧🇷 The Brazilian people reject far-right impunity
Mass protests were organized across Brazil on Sunday to reject a bill that seeks to reduce the sentences of people convicted of participating in the coup attempt on January 8, 2023, including far-right former president, Jair Bolsonaro, who has been sentenced to over two decades of imprisonment for his role against democracy. The right-wing controlled Congress, passed a bill last week that would allow convicted coup plotters to move to a less restrictive prison, for example, house arrest, and could reduce Bolsonaro's sentence from 27 to six years.

Is the Labour government willing to let hunger-striking Palestine activists die?
Palestine solidarity prisoners in Britain have entered a critical phase of their hunger strike, which they began more than 40 days ago. Pressure is mounting on the Labour government to respond to demands put forward by dozens of activists imprisoned for their direct action in support of Palestine.
Audrey Corno, of Prisoners for Palestine, describes the critical condition of the hunger strikers and the increasing support from the broader solidarity movement for the imprisoned Palestine Action members.
“Until our demands are met, we will resist,” wrote Qesser Zuhrah, one of the prisoners. “We ask our government now: are you willing to let us die before you stop arming a genocide?”

Scores of people were injured after police attacked farmers protesting the establishment of an ethanol factory in Hanumangarh in India’s Rajasthan province.
Security forces carried out baton charges and fired tear gas on the farmers when they tried to march to the factory site, after failing to get any formal agreement on the demands they had raised to the local administration.
The farmers have been agitating against the proposed ethanol factory for over a year now. They believe that scarce canal water would be diverted to the factory due to its high water demand.
